"How many more layers are you actually wearing?"

At his words they both laughed.

Y/N for the first time since her accident felt like she could learn to love herself again.

Taehyung for the first time since losing his brother felt like he could learn to love again.

If she was his siren then Kim Taehyung was her ocean and she couldn't wait to dive deeper and discover all that he held within.

((Dedicated to my beautiful friend ViMa711, thanks for all your support and happy birthday 💜💜💜💜))

"What was that?!"

Taehyung chuckled at her wide eyes as she tried to twist her head around to look at what he was doing.

"Relax babygirl, it's just the sketch still." He smirked, head lifting up as he was midway through the design.

Y/N nodded, eyes falling across his beautiful face.

Was this guy even real?

Y/N finally found the courage to strip down to her underwear after Taehyung had promised to turn around and not look until she was seated and comfortable.

The moment she gave him the all clear and he spun around his breath hitched.

She was so fucking perfect.

"I'm sorry, the deal was not to stare but when you're this fucking beautiful it's incredibly difficult."

Y/N had scoffed at his words, finding it ludacris that he found her so desirable and Taehyung cocked a brow.

"What was our deal?" He questioned.

"You wouldn't stare and I wouldn't feel self conscious."

"You're not complying." He teased to which she smirked.

"You aren't either so guess we both failed."

"Guess we did." Taehyung chuckled, liking this feisty side to his siren.

Thirty minutes, two cupcakes and a conversation about their likes and dislikes later the first sketch attempt was almost complete.

Taehyung had discovered Y/N loved to bake, watched badly made romantic dramas and had an obsession with collecting Pop Vinyls.

Y/N had discovered Taehyung's passion for music, playing saxophone and how is love for art came about.

"I just couldn't take my eyes away from it." Taehyung had said about his first visit to The Louvre and in particular the moment his eyes had landed on the Mona Lisa.

"I expected it to be bigger, all these people crowding around just to get a glimpse and a security guard making sure nobody ducked under the barrier. I remember thinking to myself, this small piece made by a man with no formal academic training has become one of the most famous paintings in the world. It doesn't matter how smart you are or how people perceive you to be, all that matters it what you chose to do with the talent you have. I knew then that I wanted to create my own masterpiece, that one day hopefully people will crowd around something that Kim Taehyung did."

Y/N was enraptured, completely entranced as he spoke.

"I have faith that one day you'll create a masterpiece and when that day comes you better give me your autograph."

Taehyung chuckled, beautiful dark eyes behind circular lenses looking back at her.

"Oh babygirl, I'll give you something so much better."

"Oh? What would that be?" She chuckled, feeling her cheeks flush with warmth.

"I guess you'll find out when I've created my masterpiece."

"I guess so." Y/N chuckled.

"Okay, first sketch is done." Taehyung pushed his chair back, bottom lip caught between his teeth as he nervously waited for Y/N to take a look. 

"Be honest, if you don't like it then tell me so I can make changes."

Y/N turned to the side when she reached the full length mirror, eyes widening as they fell across Taehyung's design.

The head started just over the damaged part of her hip, tendrils of beautifully sketched hair cascading over to the top part of her thigh.

"Taehyung......" She breathed out, swallowing past the lump in her throat.

"I can take it, just tell me honestly what you think." He stood behind her, eyes meeting her own through the mirror.

"It's beautiful, you did it Taehyung....you finished a design." She smiled, not caring that her eyes had filled with tears.

It was the first time since her accident that she was starting to feel comfortable in her own skin again.

"No babygirl, we did it." He placed a kiss on the curve of her neck, the biggest of smiles pulling at his lips.

"I want to take you out tonight? Will you let me?" He questioned, arms wrapping around her waist from behind.

"Yes, I would love that."

Taehyung was ready to tell her about his brother, she had come so far in her recovery and now it was only fair he did the same for her in return.

Tonight he would take that step, for her there wasn't anything he wouldn't do.

It was because of her that his creativity had been sparked, the darkness inside him slowly giving way to the light.

They still had a long way to go, it wouldn't be easy and there would be many more challenges to face and obstacles to overcome but she was worth it.

So worth it.

Taehyung sensed the moment Y/N started to feel uncomfortable, he was so proud she had managed to stay wearing nothing but her lingerie for so long.

"You know what would really turn me on right now.....if you put all those layers back on, especially that Tinkerbell jumper."

Y/N laughed, head thrown back as Taehyung stepped away and turned around so she could get dressed.

How did he always know the right thing to say or do?

"Are you making fun of my jumper?" She chuckled as she dressed herself, completely trusting that Taehyung would stay turned around until she was ready.

"How could you insinuate such a thing?!" Taehyung mocked gasped which only made Y/N laugh harder as she slipped 'said' jumper over her head.

"I just put my jumper on Taehyung."

"Oh babygirl, stop talking dirty to me."

"The scarf just went on."

"Oh fuck yes, keep going? Is the huge coat on yet?" The sound of her giggles made his heart race as he playfully grabbed the back of the chair to steady himself.

"It just went on." Y/N slowly zipped it up, laughing hysterically as Taehyung moaned, forcing his legs to fake tremble.

"OOF, yes babygirl you pull up that zipper."

That was it, the zipper comment completely floored her.

Taehyung turned around the exact moment she threw her head back and emitted the loudest snort ever.

Y/N's eyes widened, hand flying across her mouth.

"Well, if the zipper didn't do it then that extremely loud and sexy snort just sealed the deal." Taehyung laughed as he walked over to her.

"That was so humiliating." Y/N mumbled behind her hand, cheeks heating up as he prised her fingers away.

"I actually found it adorable, you've still not put your hat on." He smirked, gently pulling it over her head.

"I think I just came."

That was all it took for them both to burst into hysterics.

Little did the two know that Namjoon had watched the adorable interaction from the desk.

"Namjoon? Joonie did you hear me? I need chocolate cake, cupcakes too and maybe some pickles."

"I heard you baby, on my way home now." He whispered, taking one last look at his friend who was now placing chaste kisses against Y/N's forehead as the two continued to laugh.

"Marshmallows too."

"Of course baby, anything for you." He chuckled, flipping the sign to closed before walking out the door.

His boy needed some privacy.
